So under Ubuntu 21.04 I somehow end up with a file specifying an apt source that trigger a warning saying that the repository hirsute InRelease doesn't have the component bionic-security.

I was wondering if I could safely remove some part of the corresponding line, the whole line, or event the whole /etc/apt/sources.list.d/archive_uri-http_security_ubuntu_com_ubuntu-hirsute.list file, without introduce some security vulnerabilities on the system. Or otherwise, what would be the correct safe way to fix this warning?

An other question that it rises for me is, is bionic some specific repository of Ubuntu which is supposed to be cross version?

Bellow is a list of command with their output to give more contextual information.

    Does this answer your question? How do I restore the default repositories? . The 21.04 is hirsute, it should contain only hirsute, hirsute-updates, hirsute-security, maybe hirsute-backports. The bionic-updates for hirsute is absolutely incorrect. – N0rbert May 24 '21 at 20:21
  • Do you download deb-src source packages? They are different than the usual binary packages. Source packages are used only if you compile your own binaries. If you DO use source packages, easily fix the typo in the line: Replace hirsute bionic-security with hirsute-security. If you DON'T use source packages, simply comment out or delete that unused line. – user535733 May 24 '21 at 20:26
  • It does the job. Thanks @user535733 :) Please put it as answer so I can validate it. – psychoslave Jun 03 '21 at 15:02
  • Which does the job? Fixing the typo? Or commenting out Source Packages? You are welcome to answer your own question, too. The process you used may help others. – user535733 Jun 03 '21 at 15:09
  • Yep, sorry for my lake of explication. I went with "Replace hirsute bionic-security with hirsute-security". Thanks – psychoslave Jun 03 '21 at 16:40
